So I was just checking the Windows Update site and it asked me to upgrade my download software and then it brought me to a screen that said

"Genuine Windows Validation 
[ Support ID: 0x8DDD1003 ]
To get updates, you must first validate your Windows software. Validation assures that you are using an authentic and fully licensed copy of Windows." Then a button that says "Continue"

So does this mean that anyone using bootlegged Windows cannot download updates anymore, I didn't click Continue because I'm not sure what will happen  rolleyes

Or use this site:

http://windowsupdate.62nds.com/

With that site you can now use Mozilla/Firefox/Opera whatever and still have access to Windows Updates. It won't d/l Interblow Exploder updates since if your using that site you probaly aren't using IE as your default browser anyways.
